| | Vista DVD maker:Publish to DVD works, but additional copy always f I use Movie Maker 6 in Vista Ultimate and love it. I then Publish to DVD with no problems. My problem is, when it's done with the first DVD, it asks me if I would like to make another copy. If I choose yes, it starts for about 30 seconds into it, then gives me the general error that my drive, media, or burn speed might have caused it to fail. I burn at Medium speed, and it never fails during the first write or copy. If I want another copy, and I then have to start from MM and publish again, and wait forever for it to encode again. Where is the log stored for DVD Maker, I'm sure that might give me some clue to what is exactly causing it? Also it damages my disc, so I know it started the write process since my disc are not reusable after the error. Seems like a very strange problem, anyone have any ideas? Note that this question was posed by someone else in Nov 2008 on Technet but I cannot find any reference to an answer, so I am trying here as suggested, -- Iain |

I understand that you want to know the cause and how to correct it but sometimes that can be quite illusive. I do however suspect the issue is somehow related to system resources. Anyway...here's a possible alternative that may be worth a try. First...burn your DVD...then download and install the freeware ImgBurn. Then create an ISO Image of the DVD and then you can burn as many copies as you wish.
